The classic and opulent style of the Tudor dynasty has influenced jewellery for generations. They personify the axiom that More is More. Tudor jewellery is not for the faint of heart. It is meant to make a statement -dramatic, elegant, bold, sensual and romantic. Each piece is opulent, embellished and luxurious with luscious gems and precious metals.

The Tudor Cuff exemplifies this era of jewellery. Czech shaped beads are woven and embellished with sparkling firepolished and seed beads. The cuff is made even more luxurious with the addition of dangling tassels. Definitely a piece of jewellery meant to be noticed.
